ming, and by fielding the ball quickly
doubled up Shellhasse at third bsse.
SMITH, one Ct the pitchers, signed
by Manager Sueed, arrived yesterday
from Decatur, ILL.,, in good shape. He
is pleasant gentleman, and looks
like ball player.
MANAGER BAUMGARTNER, of the
Shamrocks, says that our boys will
win the pennant hands down. "Their
only stumbling blcck," eaid he, will
be with the Crescent City boys"
In the eighth inning D.yle stopped
a hot sronnder, which split one OF his
fingers. He was compelled TO 90 to
right field, Phelan taking his place at
third and Sneed going to second.
THE Des Moines team ia expected 10
arrive here today from New Orleans.
Tomorrow afternoon they will cross
bats with the Browns. Smith and
Baker will be the battery for the home
team.
THE Mobile people are easily aatis-
fed. They went into ec5tacies over
the fight made by their club against
the Wolverines, and the score stood:
Detroit IL, Mobile l. Strange senti-
ment.
A YOUNG man named SCARF, who
lives at Water Valley, Miss, and who
is said to bs a pitcher of no mean
order, will be given trial by Manager
Sneed. The young man is expected
here today, and If he comes up to the
mark he will be signed.
MANAGER John Kelly has an orig
insl idea. 1t is to have the pitcher
throw about two-pound iron ball
previous 10 game, go that he may
possess extra sDeed when he enters
the contest. Kelly argues that the
pitcher will put forth the same ef-
forts in throwing the baseball that he
did 10 throwing the iron sphere, and
thus be more effective in delivery.
John thinks that curves will all 20
for naught under the new rules, and
that speedy pitchers will have all the
MANAGER BRADLEY, Of Nashville,
has eigned Matthias, a second base
man. He played during the season OF
1884 with the Chicago Unions and
ranked very high in that i'll fated OF
ganizstion. In the Union Association |
he ranked next to Fred Dunlap, as q |
second baseman, and was considerably |
ahead of him as batter. He is a first |
class man in every respect. At the |
of the following season he |
signed with the Chattanooga, but in. |
iuied his hand and did not play sufti.
GENTLY long 10 make a record. Owing
10 some Misunderstanding with the
management OF the Chattanooga, he

listed. His reinstatement took place

In the face of the dem oustration Of
heir abilities by the Memphis team,
nashville still has the presumption to
lain superiority. In witness whereof
cad the following from yesterdays
